Council presiding official calls special meeting for executive session on potential litigation
Summary
A presiding official called a special meeting of the council to go into executive session to discuss potential litigation, citing RCW 42.30.110; the session was estimated to last about 15 minutes and Council member Moore was excused due to a family matter.
A presiding official called a special meeting of the council to order and said the body would recess for an executive session to discuss potential litigation.
“The presiding official said the session was being convened “for purposes of executive session, for, potential litigation,” and cited state law on executive sessions. The official said the session would run “approximately 15 minutes.” The official also noted that “Council member Moore is running a few minutes late, and he's excused” because of a family issue.
The announcement invoked state executive-session law (RCW 42.30.110). The transcript recorded a garbled citation; that has been corrected here to the statutory provision that governs executive sessions in Washington. The council recessed to the stated executive session; the excerpt contains no record of votes or formal action taken during the recess.
No additional context about the subject of the potential litigation or any subsequent actions was provided in the excerpt. The council said it would report an update following the executive session before the regular meeting resumed.
